Description of the invention (10)-McCaw's 3-The case where the gate bus GL is not connected to the drain bus DL due to foreign matter mixed into the bus will be explained, and 4A to 4D will be described with reference to cross-sectional views taken along line segments γ_γ and z_z in FIG. 3. 5 Figures 4A to 4D are cross-sections of the gate busbars taken along the line segment γ_γ and cross-sections of non-polar busbars taken out of the line segment Z-Z. Fig. 4A shows the case where the gate electrode caused by the foreign matter falling on the busbar is disconnected from the metal layer 3a of the busbar and the metal layer 3a of the drain busbar is not connected. The metal layer 3a is covered with a gate insulating film and an insulating protective film. 10. The metal layer 9b of the drain bus bar is covered with an insulating protection film 13. In these bus lines, semiconductor layers 仏 and 仏 of high doping concentration are formed under the metal layers 3a and 9b. If the metal layer is cut off, the resistance of the financial confluence busbar will be greatly increased. Therefore, the disconnection of the busbar is electrically easy to be measured. The TFT detector can identify the address of each bus line. An optical camera mounted on the D15 detector can optically observe the surface of the substrate to determine the discontinuous position. After the fault location is confirmed, the fault will be repaired. As shown in FIG. 4B, the barrier layer is coated on the surface of the substrate, and is subjected to exposure and development to form a barrier pattern PR4. The barrier pattern PR4 has an opening in the inspection corresponding to each of the failure regions 20. With the barrier pattern pR4 as a bare grass, the insulating protective film 13 and the gate insulating film 4 exposed in the opening will be etched. For example, this etching process can be performed in a dry etching system, with a yield of: cc_02 gas and a tritium gas with a flow rate of café gas in a two-chamber chamber with a high-frequency power of about 8Pa and 600W for two minutes. Just fine. This paper scale applies Chinese national standard (〇 / s) A4 regulation (2) 〇 > < 297 Gongchu) 575756 A7 _______ _B7 V. Description of the invention (11) Figure 4C shows the barrier pattern pR4 and the substrate are dry. Cleaned up after etching. In the fault area, the pole insulation film 4 and the upper insulating protection film Η are removed and the fault metal layer 仏 and% are exposed. The exposed TFT substrate is sent to a tungsten selective CVD system. 5 As shown in Fig. 41), W is selectively generated on the surface of the silicon layer having the disadvantage of exposure. For example, the WCVD generation conditions are substrate temperature of 200 ° C, WF6 gas flow rate of 5 sccm, siH gas flow rate of 2% ^, H2 gas flow rate of 80 sccm, and CVI) system pressure of 0.002 Torr. Under these conditions, w is selectively formed on the surface of the silicon layer instead of 10 on the surface of the insulating layer and the metal layer. In this way, the rupture area of the gate bus line has the W layer 18a, and the rupture area of the drain bus line has the W layer 18b. The broken gate and drain buses are thus repaired. In the above description, even if the faults of the drain and gate busbars are detected and repaired after the structural element of TF-butylsulfonium is formed, these faults can be repaired in the middle stage of the manufacturing process. Figures 5A to 5D show the process of detecting and repairing the fault after the gate bus (including the gate and capacitor electrodes) is formed. The cross-sectional views of persons 5 to 5D are taken along the line γ-γ of FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 5A, the n + -type bu & layer 2 is formed on the glass substrate 1, and after 20, the surface of the substrate is cleaned. After the cleaning process, the substrate may be attached to the substrate during the process of moving it into the spray reduction coating system. FIG. 5B shows a gate metal layer formed on the surface of the n + -type sense layer 2 with a foreign substance 2 0 attached thereto. In the region where the foreign object 20 exists, the gate metal layer 3 is deposited on the foreign object 20 instead of the 0-type layer 2. Therefore, the pinholes are formed on the paper in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (⑽) A4 specification (2.j × X297mm) 14 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page), \ > Sip 575756 A7

Description of the invention (13)-Surface. When the source metal layer 9 is formed, the metal layer is deposited on the foreign objects 22 and 25 in the region where the foreign object exists, instead of being deposited on the contact surface of the semiconductor layer 8. Pinholes 23 and 26 are thus created on the source / drain metal layer 9 5. When the substrate is cleaned after the source / electrode metal layer 9 is formed, the foreign matter 22 and 25 are removed and the pinholes are exposed. Figure 6C shows the pinholes 23 and 26 appearing after the substrate is cleaned. The photoresist layer is coated on the surface of the substrate and subjected to exposure and development processes to form a barrier pattern. The above photoresist pattern is a photomask, and the source / drain metal layer 9, the contact 10 semiconductor layer 8 and the activated semiconductor layer 5 are etched. As shown in FIG. 6D, after etching and removing the barrier pattern and cleaning the surface of the substrate, the source metal layer 9a, the contact semiconductor layer, and the activated semiconductor layer 5a are all patterned in the TFT region. The source metal layer% has Pinhole 23, and the drain busbar has pinhole 26. The busbar layer is inspected at this time, 15 and it is assumed here that the unconnected drain busbar is detected. After that, the TFT substrate is sent to W Selective CVD system to selectively generate W. Since W is selectively generated on the surface of the exposed semiconductor layer, pinholes 23 and 26 are embedded with W layers 27 and 28. As shown in Figure 6E, after fault repair, The surface of the tinted substrate is covered with an insulating layer 20. The pixel electrode contact hole is formed through the layer 13, and an IT0 film is formed, patterned by photolithography, and then etched to form an ιτ〇 electrode 14. Afterwards, the orientation film is formed on the surface of the kTFT substrate and subjected to orientation treatment to form a complete TFT substrate.
